LONDON (Reuters) - Microsoft said it would license Activision Blizzard's "Call of Duty" (CoD) to Sony for 10 years to address concerns raised by Britain over its $69 billion takeover of the games maker, according to a document published by the regulator.

Microsoft last month struck a similar deal with Nvidia Corp's gaming platform, dependent on it getting the go-ahead for the much-contested acquisition.
